After a semester of paper works, lectures and executive meetings she still has the time to unwind with friends. We call her Nanay the word 'mother' in Filipino. I took this shot at The Site's Café Macumba in Rosario Arcade. Despite the bland-tasting chocolate muffins we ate, we had a great time listening to live music. =P

We got a pile of laundry for today so I'm headed to the nearest laundromat which is 2 km away from home. It reminded me of the song that I used to play back in college freshman year. This has nothing to do with anything personal anyway. Swear I didn't dance while doing the laundry. LOL. We also performed this song together with former officemates back in call center days. Miss the jamming really hope we can have the time guys! 'Soap, powder, bleach, towels, fabric softener... & let's not forget the food stains, dirt spots... '=P

Donna, All set for the party. Taken at the University call center office along with her personal beauty assistant and her critic, the ever posh office mate Francine (featured last December 18). Francine gave way for her to shine in the event. Now, Francine is conceptualizing what to wear for next year's and said, Balenciaga it is. =P

As I was browsing around YouTube I found this and left me teary-eyed. I love the dynamics. Beautifully performed. The Infinito Singers is an Indonesian-based chorale group in Jakarta, Indonesia if I'm not mistaken. This is indeed a musical Sunday. =P

This is one of their line up in Busan International Chorale Competition last November of this year. I love their very own version of Kelly Clarkson's A Moment Like This. I would like to apologize for not providing you guys the best sound since I'm using an ordinary mp4 camera but I think this will do. Hope you enjoy the music! I wish this talented group the best more competition to join and awards to bag not only for the university and Cagayan de Oro but for the Philippines as well.=P

Halal indeed is healthy. Urfa Kebap. Beef with herbs and pita garnished with lettuce, sliced tomatoes & fresh cucumber. Fries & rice add up the fullness. I reckoned we should have dine during Eid al-Adha (Feast of The Sacrifice) for it is a Muslim tradition to serve Halal food to everyone for free. LOL. =P

Another splendid dinning experience! Like you always do, me & Rey had a hard time deciding where to have dinner until we came across Turquoise, a Turkish restaurant in SM City Cagayan de Oro. The food? It's ambrosial!

Meet the beautiful and sophisticated Francine. Clad with Christmas colors and a classy bag, Francine attracts attention among the others in their costumes. Taken last Sunday during Capitol University Call Center's Christmas Party themed All Things Christmas at Grand City Hotel. She's a woman now. Pay some respect! =P

My girl friend Aileen on her sister's hospital bed. I thought she's engage at 22. Too young for that. The patient is sitting on a rickety bench. LOL. Te Jo get well soon I know how it feels having that exhausting attack. =P

Mom & Grandma. She's trying to tell my mom to stop cam whoring. LOL. They're both excited to go home and share their wonderful experience in Edmonton, Canada. Actually, there are more to share but this is my blog not hers. I hope someday I can have the chance to travel & take photos of each exciting adventure. I still want to travel around Southeast Asia really. =P

Walking around the neighbor seems fun. You get to see a lot of new things. Ma, I'm even fascinated with this clean, grafitti-free bricked wall. That's the shop where my Uncle's wife works. If I get a chance of visiting should I qualify to work as a waiter in Starbucks? :P

This week I'm gonna post pictures of my Mom's and Grandma's trip to Canada (I hate you Ma! Grr). Since I've been deprived of my camera last week and haven't taken any shots lately, this will serve as a treat. :D I'm surprised that Mom can actually take good pictures. I was even worried she might forget how to use her cam. Older adults are too challenged to use new technology of any kind. LOL. This is Asia's oldest running airline, Philippine Airlines bound to Vancouver, Canada. :P I hope PAL will make more improvements in their services since she is the country's flag carrier. :D

I was a bit busy last week with my intensive review for my upcoming exam and my brother borrowed my camera so that explains the dull facade of this demented blog. I miss snapping pictures non-stop. Well I hope I can catch up for this week. Anyway, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people who remembered my natal day! First of all, I would like to thank the Lord for His saving grace, and for blessing me this year which includes passing 2 important exams in my profession (Jeremiah 29.11 I believe the promise). Of course, Mom & Dad, Dan & Darius.

I loooooove this song so so much! Thanks for the rendition Jeremy! :D You can find his videos in YouTube anyway. I've been looking for his remake of SWV's 'Weak' but unfortunately I didn't find the video. I am supposed to post this on a Sunday but I can't help it really. This song is originally sang by Tommy Walker. I hope you're blessed listening to the lyrics. :)

This blog is dedicated to every Filipino to recall, relive and reorient the rich Hispanic roots that formed our islands into one nation. Being Hispanic is not limited to one's genetic stock but it surpasses the linguistic and most importantly, the cultural strata that we shared with more than 20 countries in South America & Africa. Hispanic culture is an intermingling of Spanish and indigenous culture. We may be Asian by blood but culturally Hispanic. Freedom has been great! Let's free ourselves from our bitter-sweet past & recognize our patrimony. ¡Viva La Hispanidad! ¡Viva El Gran Archipiélago de Filipinas!
